Arms Warrior Artifact Challenge

Pretty straightforward fight. Mistakes will kill you on the first part, low DPS on the second.

I was able to complete this as an ilvl 900 arms warrior using 거대한 폭풍의 눈 and 변함없는 책략. Timeless really did help for the first phase, but it could be easily done without it, just save heroic leap for the transitions and kill the razor ice. I even did this sometimes when I wanted to save a charge of heroic leap and rarely had an issue as you can victory rush each time you kill a piece of ice. I opted for instead of 냉철함 just because I liked the increase in haste (my gear had fairly low haste) and the boost from deadly calm just wasn't noticeable for me at first. I'm sure it could be done with either.

Biggest alteration I made to this strat, and most strats I've seen, was that I did 4 rounds of adds in P2 instead of just 3. I found when I tried to go for the kill after 3 sets of adds, he spawned more before I could kill him (unless I got lucky with lots of Tactician procs and MS crits, I guess my DPS was a bit low). I also noticed I had a bit of extra platform left and killing the adds had been no problem at all for me. . This strat may require you being a bit more careful with boss positioning while you kite him around the platform. You really gotta flirt with that danger zone sometimes.

Along the same lines, I didn't pull the adds quite so far away cause they were at <10% health after I was done with bladestorm and they probably had moved 10yds at most. This allowed quick transitions between adds and boss and minimized boss movement.

Fun fight in the end. The first phase can be kind of tedious, but don't let that cause mistakes. Also, don't think you don't have the DPS just cause you didn't get lucky with procs after you popped drums. With an extra set of adds like I did it adds a fair amount of time, and the execute phase goes quick!

Have fun!

You cant change talents between phases anymore. The easy mode has ended.

After blowing 15k nethershards (RIP my legendary chances), I can say without a doubt this is actually not that hard. All it takes is one mistake and you lose, but the mechanics are really not that bad with Arms' tools. I just can never get the timing right with jumping over the ice though; it either kills me or DCs me every time. I got to the last phase twice, and I ALMOST killed him, but I didn't have the talents suggested for p2. I wasn't given a chance to swap talents, as I was stuck in combat after Xylem was brought to 10% health. It definitely wasn't lag, because I was able to attack normally (whirlwind for testing), so something may have caused me to still count as attacking something.

I'm not too fond of the Arms appearance, but considering how easy this is at 902 ilvl, there's no excuse to not keep trying and just get it done! At least it's not as awful as the Guardian Druid one, bleh.

Been using wowhead for years. Decided to register an account just to say that this guide is absolute garbage. Unless you have Timeless Stratagem just come up with your own strat. Timing is off for heroic leaps. Don't both interrupting anything but Draw Power in arcane phase, you sometimes don't even have pummel off CD to catch it before it starts casting again. JUMP before leaping on razor ice. Don't use the P1 recommended talent build as the dps output is garbage. If you have Soul of the Slaughter trait and victory rush that's all you need for survivability.

What is the lore behind the appearance? The Ashbringer had some pretty cool lore with the different appearances. Is this just a skin or is there some substance to it?

Couldn't get last boss below 40% health with Avatar, Deadly Calm and Anger Management. Once I switched to Trauma, In For the Kill and Opportunity Strikes, I hit that execute phase much faster to kill the boss. ilvl was 910.

Pretty much followed Asmongold’s youtube guide. Used all the recommended potions and food, did the talent swap inbetween phases. I needed around 20-30 tries, just to get a feel for it and time everything correctly. I would say that’s the main thing here - practice. Like in phase 1, just stay calm and take your time. There is no rush. In P2 you need to get your optimal dps right. Pretty great feeling when you finally get it right.

ilvl 908, one legendary (weight of the world).

I managed to take this guy down at 923 after probably 3 or 4 attempts. I used Timeless Stratagem for bonus leaps (really cheeses this fight) and Sephuz because i didnt have any other legendaries. I actually like sephuz a lot. You can use interrupts, fears, stuns ANYTHING in the first phase to totally wreck this guy and increase survivability.

Second phase can be bypassed by leaps. keep your eye out for that glittery aura!

FOR THE THIRD PHASE this is so important: DO NOT INTERRUPT the boss when they cast seed of darkness! I did this like 3 times and couldnt figure out how to pull the adds away from the boss. If you don't interrupt, the boss will remain stationary for about 10 seconds. The final phase is 100% about saving your cooldowns properly. Leap away to a safe distance. Stun, WARBREAKER, and bladestorm. if you warbreaker after you'll lose out on a significant amount of damage.

I also swapped out my talents from what the guide suggested after reading some comments. I used Dauntless, Shockwave, Trauma, Bounding Stride, Titanic Might, In for the Kill, and opportunity Strikes. I didnt bother with swapping out talents. I guess my gear helped a lot for the dps check.

With our artifacts being fully powered, this challenge is a lot easier. You can do it!

I highly recommend setting up your gear sets, and an add on like talent set manager, then adding your different gear sets and your Tome of the tranquil mind to one of your bars if you are trying to do this quickly before Tuesday when it goes away. When I tried it, I was doing great until I ran out of time switching everything over during the intermission and the Corrupting shadows guy started beating on me before i was done changing talents and gear. Also certain trinkets and effects can keep you in combat longer than what is convenient, so going in with all this prepared will save you some hassle. Good luck, everyone and I hope you get it!
